Luxury. 640x200, and that was with 2 colours. 320x200 if you wanted 4 colours to work with.

I was the one who submit the question, and although there was a lot of nice information in the response I'm still curious about an answer to this.
Like what was the resolution to something like Howl's Moving Castle or Naruto: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow, both produced in 2004? Or Pokemon Jirachi Wish Maker in 2003? Would they be a resolution closer to 720p?
I suppose I should have clarified my question with examples.

Shoukugeki no Souma seems to be the only one this season with none last season, although WUG's CG is and there's the odd OP or ED that is. There's quite a few that are made at something between 720p and 1080p though. |
That's interesting. Can you post the link to that blog?

| Quote: | | Many early digitally-made anime from this period was produced with letterboxing, masking off the top and bottom of the screen to give the work a cinematic feel. However, those unused pixels shrank the picture even further. Some anime from this era was produced at 640 x 360 resolution! |
Though perhaps not that many, thankfully. The main ones I know of are Betterman (may have been cel), Vandread 1st & 2nd Stage, SaiKano, Twin Spica, Cheeky Angel, and Zaion ~ i wish you were here. Anybody know of any others?
Afaik, most other 2001-2003ish 16:9 digipaint anime are 720x480 anamorphic, including Mahoromatic ~ Something More Beautiful (1st season was cel), Abenobashi, .hack//Sign, Last Exile, Licensed by Royalty, Heat Guy J, Texhnolyze, Popotan, Da Capo, Mermaid Forest, Rumiko Takahashi Anthology, Planetes, Gunslinger Girl, Chobits, Tsukihime, Gilgamesh, Godannar, Aquarian Age, Rave Master, Haibane Renmei, Getbackers, Earth Girl Arjuna, SoulTaker, Banner of the Stars II, and Snow Fairy Sugar. Noir and Figure 17 were also 16:9 / 720x480 anamorphic / cel, I believe.

Pokémon started the transition to digital around 2000. I own a smattering of Pokémon cels and I have yet to see any cels created for the second movie, Revelation Lugia, or the TV series around mid-Johto. So, by 2003, OLM, the studio that animates Pokémon, would have been very well versed in digital animation.
